AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC PLAN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IS A LEADING STUDENT-CENTERED RESEARCH UNIVERSITY WHERE PASSIONATE LEARNERS, BOLD LEADERS, ENGAGED SCHOLARS, INNOVATORS, AND ACTIVE CITIZENS UNLEASH THE POWER OF COLLABORATIVE DISCOVERY. WE PARTNER WITH KEY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC REGION, AND AROUND THE GLOBE TO BETTER THE HUMAN CONDITION, LEARN FROM A VAST ARRAY OF EXPERIENCES AND INTERNSHIPS, CREATE MEANINGFUL CHANGE, AND ADDRESS SOCIETY'S CURRENT AND EMERGING CHALLENGES. IN JANUARY 2019, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY UNVEILED A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN, CHANGEMAKERS FOR A CHANGING WORLD. THE PLAN REPRESENTS AU'S COMMITMENT TO ITS MISSION "TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE, FOSTER INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, BUILD COMMUNITY, AND EMPOWER LIVES OF PURPOSE, SERVICE, AND LEADERSHIP." THE UNIVERSITY'S FIVE-YEAR PLAN WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY AND HIGHER EDUCATION, WHILE BUILDING ON OUR LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP, AND SERVICE, AND BOLDLY EMBRACING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GREATER IMPACT. IT INCLUDES THREE CENTRAL THEMES - SCHOLARSHIP, LEARNING, AND COMMUNITY - WITH NINE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES TO GUIDE AU'S PROGRESS: SCHOLARSHIP: SCHOLARSHIP IS CENTRAL TO AU'S FUTURE. WE WILL DEVELOP AREAS OF STRATEGIC FOCUS THAT DRAW ON FIELDS WHERE AU ALREADY EXCELS, WHERE OUR EXPERTISE CROSSES SCHOOLS AND DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES, AND THAT HOLD PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE. WE WILL ESTABLISH NEW WAYS TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF FACULTY ACROSS A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES. LEARNING: LEARNING IS AT THE CORE OF AU. AS WE PREPARE FOR TOMORROW'S OPPORTUNITIES, WE CONTINUE TO EMBRACE THE HIGHEST-QUALITY TEACHING, WHILE EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS OF LEARNING AND SCHOLARSHIP. WE WILL EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIFELONG LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT ARE MORE FLEXIBLE, PERSONALIZED, AND ACCESSIBLE. COMMUNITY: AU IS AN INSTITUTION DEEPLY ROOTED IN COMMUNITY - LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND GLOBALLY - AND WHEN OUR COMMUNITY GROWS STRONGER, SO DO WE. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, OUR STRATEGIC EFFORTS WILL EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN OUR TIES TO COMMUNITIES, BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. EACH OF THE NINE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES OUTLINED IN THE PLAN INCLUDES SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN YEARS ONE AND TWO, FOLLOWED BY AREAS FOR EXPLORATION IN YEARS THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE. THE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES FOUR OUTCOMES FOR MONITORING SUCCESS: IMPROVING RETENTION AND GRADUATION RATES, ACHIEVING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, ENHANCING AU'S REPUTATION, AND DIVERSIFYING AND GROWING REVENUE. AMERICAN UNIVERSITY: PARTNER IN OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY SERVICE MANY OF AU'S PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, BUSINESSES, AND INDIVIDUALS EXEMPLIFY THE UNIVERSITY'S COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE.
